The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of mobile device-based exercise on cardiorespiratory function, metabolic risk factors and self-efficacy in obese women. The exercise program in this study corresponded to an intensity of 50 to 60% of the maximum oxygen consumption and was performed three times per week for 12 weeks. The body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, blood pressure, blood components, and self-efficacy were used as measurement variables. These variables were done before and after the 12 weeks of exercise at the same time and under the same conditions. The results showed that after 12 weeks in the exercise program, weight, body fat (%), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), HbA1c decreased significantly, whereas high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC), a metabolic improvement factor, increased significantly. Additionally, self-efficacy increased significantly. These results suggested that self-directed exercise using mobile devices can be a good way to improve self-efficacy and ameliorate obesity and metabolic risk factors effectively.
